I've seen it happen to short, well written articles. Just yesterday there was an article that discussed the authors experiences maintaining his FOSS project after getting a fair number of users, and if course someone in the HN comments claimed it was written by AI, even though there were zero indications it was, and plenty of indications it wasn't.
Someone even argued that you could use prompts to make it look like it wasn't AI, and that this was the best explanation that it didn't look like ai slop.
If we can't respect genuine content creators, why would anyone ever create genuine content?
I get that these people probably think they're resisting AI, but in reality they're doing the opposite: these attacks weighs way heavier on genuine writers than they do on slop-posters.
The blanket bombing of "AI slop!" comments is counterproductive.
It is kind of a self fulfilling prophesy however: keep it up and soon everything really will be written by AI.
